What we do

Click through each service explanation

Book Design

Beautiful cover and interior book design is important to our authors, readers and probably more so to us, which is why every book is tailor made to its genre and contents.

Editing

All Zaccmedia publishing packages include an excellent value editing service, the type of which is reviewed upon submission.

Marketing

Some may write just for their friends and families, which is great! Others may want a larger audience for their story or message. We have great tools to get people interested.

Printing & Distribution

We can supply books to both the general and Christian book trade or to private addresses, using our print-on-demand distribution network in the UK, USA and Australia. Order a single book or hundreds, it’s fast and easy. Delivery available worldwide via international couriers.

Print & eBook Distribution Package

We keep it straightforward and offer a single, fully comprehensive publishing package that covers all you need for a professionally produced book and Kindle eBook, with essential tools for basic marketing needs, including flyers and promotional graphics. The package also includes printing (10 complimentary copies are included in our package, with special author discounts for additional printings) and world distribution to private addresses and to shops. See our publishing package page for comprehensive details – we offer incredible value for such a comprehensive service. Compared to some companies, our entire package is cheaper than their editing service alone.

Pick & Mix

You may not want a full publishing package service, but rather prefer to use just one of our services, such as producing a cover design, or typesetting (page layout) or editing. Not all our services are available in our modular pick and mix, as we think our publishing package offers the best blend of budget and service. We recommend you contact us with your specific requirements and we can advise accordingly. For non-Zaccmedia published authors, we don’t provide printing services.

Z-Launch

Z-Launch is our bolt-on additional marketing package, which can be added to our standard Print & eBook Distribution Package (which already has great tools). Z-Launch is a marketing package for authors wanting to invest into attaining greater visibility for their book. Details of this marketing package are available if you sign up with our mailing list, which is designed to also provide ongoing advice and news of developments that can help authors. Book marketing strategies are unique to different books and individuals, which is why we don’t have a single fix it package. Whilst no one strategy guarantees sales, it will help test the success potential of your book and widen your audience significantly. See the Z-Launch page for more information.

Amazon Only (KDP) Package

Amazon KDP is a free platform available to anyone for selling physical books and Kindle ebooks directly to customers on Amazon. They use their own print-on-demand platform, formerly known as “CreateSpace”. This limited form of publishing is appealing for those that want a solid but cheaper entry into self-publishing. For authors that specifically just want design files created to Amazon KDP’s submission requirements, we offer an initial consultation and a book design service that will enable you to publish to their platform. See our publishing packages page for more details.

Manuscript Review

We evaluate manuscripts on multiple levels. Does the book require light or heavy editing? Would it benefit from structural editing? Does the book have commercial appeal – the potential to be a blockbuster, a bestseller to take the world by storm? Sometimes authors write their book and think, “wow”, this is REALLY good! With experience in commercial and self-publishing sectors, Zaccmedia offers authors a neutral, down to earth appraisal. More often, books are for family, friends, personal networks and all other readers are a bonus! Whatever the manuscript, we can tell you how to move forward with it.

General Advice

For most authors, especially those new to publishing, the process to publication can seem daunting. Zaccmedia offers unbiased advice to potential authors looking to publish, highlighting the pros and cons of the different types of publication routes that are available. We respect all authors works and budgets and want them to choose the best solution that suits their vision and pocket.

Design Guidance

Book design looks simple, but a wonderful, clean layout that offers the reader a pleasant reading experience is a kind of spacial art form. A great deal of experience and knowledge of design principles goes into the making of our books. The outcome depends on the actual written content – we review this, and as part of our packages we offer sound advice and guidance on how best to present it – this is especially valuable for more complicated structures of text and tables.

Finding your audience

It’s the hardest part of the publishing process – finding your reader audience. It’s even harder in self-publishing, when the overall standard of writing isn’t in the commercial vein (most self-pub authors aren’t professional writers). However, there are methods to find an audience, so long as the book has valuable content. For those on our packages, we offer advice and contemporary solutions for furthering your book marketing and finding readers. Like most marketing, it does require additional investment above that included in our regular packages.

What authors say about Zaccmedia

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

I’m pleased to be able to provide an endorsement of Zaccmedia’s self-publishing services. From the beginning of our association, Zaccmedia have been helpful, encouraging and very efficient. As a novice in the area of book publication I am impressed by the relatively short time that elapsed between submitting my draft and the delivery of the final article. The design of the cover has been praised by all who have seen it. The layout of each page, and the overall structure of the book now it has been produced, is of the highest standard. Your editor pointed out any mistakes I had made and, from personal knowledge, questioned several aspects within the text causing me to revise and enhance some explanations and I am grateful for that. Drawing all the strands together I am totally satisfied with the package Zaccmedia have given me at a very reasonable cost.

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

With Zaccmedia’s help and guidance our “far-from-perfect” edited manuscript, in the form of a Word document, metamorphosed into an elegant 380-page book. Along the way Paul solved several typesetting challenges. With an eye for detail, Zaccmedia spotted several errant footnotes, missing references and typographical errors! They also patiently accommodated some late changes as the book took shape. Paul provided advice on illustrations and formatting, together with several recommendations and suggestions that had not occurred to us and which certainly improved the finished result. Paul designed an attractive cover that admirably suits the content of the book, offering suggestions and proposals from which we could make final choices. I have no hesitation in recommending Zaccmedia to anyone who has a dream to see their work in print and I fully expect to return for help with future projects.

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

When Jesus asked me to write a book I argued this for a long time. Out of obedience to Him I wrote Ordinary People Finding Jesus, which took me five years to do. When I was almost finished I was out running and looked up and said, “I have done what You asked me to do, now please send the publisher You have chosen as I am just too tired to deal with rejection.” A few days later I received an email with two names on and I prayed over them. Zaccmedia stood out as named after Zacchaeus and this just felt so right. The help, assistance, patience, efficiency and knowledge I received from Paul Stanier of Zaccmedia has been incredible. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for an excellent special one on one publisher.

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

I would like to commend Paul Stanier who I believe I was led to divinely as he gave the help and advice I so needed. As he guided myself and my son, who is learning to typeset, in the do’s and don’ts, he shared his vast experience of publishing with professionalism, gentleness and kindness. Whenever I needed help he made himself readily available to me. As I hold my book in my hand and share it with others I feel very content. I am thrilled to know that Paul has pulled together his many talents to form Zaccmedia. I know that whichever aspect of work he is involved in he will undertake it with that same commitment, dedication and professionalism that has benefited all who have worked with him. Thanks and bless you Paul.

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

I’m very happy to endorse Zaccmedia. From the very start of our association, I have found Zaccmedia helpful, efficient and I would say delivered above and beyond my expectations – especially in the very short timescale we allowed ourselves. Author care has been superb! Your cover design has won praise from everyone who has seen it and I am still thrilled with it. Page design and production are of the highest professional standard – and I say that as someone who has worked in book publishing for some of the best-known non-fiction publishers in the UK and US. Your editor’s eagle eyes spotted all that I had missed – I am so grateful! The financials worked for me – I think what you offer is an excellent package at a modest cost. And I’ve been delighted with the speed of delivery of the books I ordered.

The first 100 books arrived this morning. Fabulous! I’m getting calls for copies already. The work is magnificent! My wife Rachel said this is the best work on any of my books so far! Kudos to you Paul. I’m very interested to see where this will go now. I’m just quite glad that you have made this such an excellent work. Your flyers for the book arrived today—beautifully done, as usual—and they are beginning to fly! Thank you so much for the excellent work!

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

I expect that it’s the same for most first time authors, but I had no idea how to go about getting my book published, and I’m so glad that a friend suggested that I approach Paul. From the outset he was very professional in all that he did for me. He gave me prompt and helpful guidance as to what he needed me to do, and it was particularly gratifying for me that Paul was willing to try to get the book out within the short time frame that I requested, and better still that he managed to achieve that, completing the publication of my memoirs before my retirement from work and within two months after our first meeting.Paul did a great job for me, and I would recommend his services to any author, whether novice like myself or indeed more experienced.

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

I researched a number of companies offering eBook cover design and Kindle conversion. Paul’s site seemed the most straightforward and authentic, and on contacting him he was so helpful and friendly. This is my first eBook and I was unclear of the process but Paul clarified everything and was very prompt in responding to my emails when I needed help. I am very satisfied with the cover he has provided me and am looking forward to uploading and seeing my book on Amazon. The whole process has been smooth and easy and the cost fair. I will definitely be coming back to Zaccmedia for my next eBook cover and conversion. Thank you Paul!

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

I have nothing but praise for the quality of service, and satisfaction with the excellent value for money, that Zaccmedia have provided during the publication of my book God – real or imagined? From first approaching them with my finished manuscript to publication of the book and eBook took just over two months, and the finished product looks excellent thanks to their creative cover design, attractive book design, and close attention to detail. Having previously had more than ten books published by large academic publishers, I have found Zaccmedia ultra-professional in all my dealing with them, which made the publication process smooth, efficient and stress-free. But, more than that, their approachable nature and their genuine interest in the book made the whole experience very enjoyable. I would not hesitate to use them again!

Having just had my first novel published by Zaccmedia, I would like to state how very helpful Paul Stanier has been. He has talked me through every stage and answered all my questions – even the stupid ones! I have every confidence in his ability to get the most out of my work, and trust his judgment.

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

Although I was a bit apprehensive of the likely quality of the book binding based on those produced by some renowned companies, I was joyous to see the excellent quality of my book binding produced by Zaccmedia and it has been equally commended by others. Overall, I found working with Paul on this project to be a memorable experience and I will not hesitate to recommend Zaccmedia to other authors who desire a stress free publishing experience. Indeed, great was the company that published my first book.

WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT ZACCMEDIA

This was my first venture into publishing and a great unknown for me, so working with Paul at Zaccmedia was a great decision that made the whole process seamless and a very pleasant experience for me. Paul was very encouraging at the beginning about the merit of publishing my work, and offered advice on the best way to present it, the kind and style of book that would work best, and he gave me other valuable input that helped guide my decisions along the way. I am delighted with the outcome of the project and would thoroughly recommend Zaccmedia. Paul has long and valuable experience in the publishing business and I found all my dealings with him professional to the core. The attention to detail, creative input on typesetting, style and presentation were exemplary and this really added to my book to give it a unique style that I am so pleased with. Thank you Paul for all your work.
